
Do not place any conductor carrying a current
with a frequency of 10 kHz or more close to
the jaws even when the sensor is not
clamped around a conductor.
A current flowing through conductors near the sensor
may heat up the sensor heads, leading to damage to
the device, resulting burns.
When the device is clamped around one of the go-
and-return conductors and the other conductor is
placed close to the jaws, self-heating of both currents
will synergistically heat up the sensor heads even if
the electric current is lower than the maximum rated
current.
CAUTION
Do not place conductors
not to be measured close
to the jaws.
